Veela
Chains
[Verse 1: Nonelikejoshua]
Watch your step
The factory is hazardous
And the maximum capacity’s inadequate
This isn’t even half of it
Broken dreams, dark corners, law, and order’s
Not important
Everything you once were
Is being torn asunder
Start it over
Change to a new name
'Cause everyone is two-faced
Need I communicate to the slave?
Never pay attention to the signs saying
Work is freedom
Need to learn to speak in turn
'Cause you know you can’t beat 'em

[Chorus: Veela]
Enough
You know it’s not very much
To stay silent, covering up
Your shame, that you’re wearing cuffs
'Cause you know, you have had enough
Test out your knowledge now
You are never getting out
How does it feel to know your life’s on my shoulders?
Getting older
[Verse 2: Nonelikejoshua]
Many died from the one assembly line
Every time’s a steady climb
Let me try to clarify
You are not a human being
You are just a number for the daily grind
Just another deadly life
When we're yellin' “left”, we don’t have a right
Satellites tracking on the ankle brace
Can’t escape
Don’t look up 'cause she’s watchin' every move
Lock you in a bitter room
Difficult to misconstrue
Pitiful and ridiculed
By the foreman and her crew
Now conformin' to the group
'Cause you swore to tell the truth
And the punishment has come to this eternal servitude
Make a weapon so you can protect yourself
And sleep at night
Never knowing who is gonna find a way to seize your life
I don’t know
If you want to think to walk alone
There’s lots of unknown places
Closed chambers, prostrated, won’t make it
If you don’t take this to the heart
You might end up so lost
Your hole’s graveless, no traces
They won’t make a statement
[Chorus: Veela]
Enough
You know it’s not very much
To stay silent, covering up
Your shame, that you’re wearing cuffs
'Cause you know, you have had enough
Test out your knowledge now
You are never getting out
How does it feel to know your life’s on my shoulders?
Getting older

[Bridge: Veela]
Silence
When I walk through my rounds
Your head, better be facing down just
Let me give you a warning
Or there will be no morning
You can’t see it, but you know I’ve got my gun
I’ll smile, wide to everyone
But you know never to lookup
I’m your Medusa

[Verse 3: Nonelikejoshua]
Quiet
You don’t want to say it
When she’s gonna make a round
And anything you say
Is like a thunder sound
So put the cover down when
The lights are going out
Or you might get a clout cause
Nothing’s ever mightier than power
That’s inside of here so never
Show a sign of fear
And always hide insecurities
That you don’t want to see 'cause
Only the weak are getting left in the heat I’ll
Bet you’ll agree with
The rest of the team
Nobody here is the
Best in the league
'Cause you get shot down
With her weapon demean
Waterboard drown
Won’t let you breathe
Car battery and shocked to fatigue
Cigarette burns that scar till you bleed
Don’t try to intercede 'cause you won’t be appeased
So try to stay away from being close to the queen
I don’t want to see another fed to the beast
Nothing on the plate, no hopes, no dreams
If you got a reason to laugh then please
Keep it to yourself 'cause we got no games
So much shame and we rot our brains
Locked in chains, all in vain
Earn no wage
Burn that page saying
"Wait for the date that our day is saved"
'Cause I haven’t felt warmth
In a course of weeks while the
More she beats like a horse or a steed
I implore you to eat 'cause she will force-feed
For the work for free, like interning
But no ladder to climb or see
So mind your deeds
Time to leave
Rise at dawn
Watch your guard
Shh and try to sleep
[Chorus: Veela]
Enough
You know it’s not very much
To stay silent, covering up
Your shame, that you’re wearing cuffs
'Cause you know, you have had enough
Test out your knowledge now
You are never getting out
How does it feel to know your life’s on my shoulders?
Getting older
